Highlight bar 37 is used for making electrode 3 circuitous towards lead-in groove 11.Specifically, highlight bar 37 is with roughly rectangular direction is outstanding towards the path of the electrode 3 of reel 36 from delivery wheel 35, and its top is towards lead-in groove 11.Pair of rolls 38 is arranged at the both sides of highlight bar 37.The top of the roller 38 process highlight bars of electrode 3 one side from the upper reaches is around the roller 38 of one side to downstream.Under this state, the part on the top of the covering highlight bar 37 in the electrode 3 applies portion 32 as contact and plays a role.
After finishing certain and analyzing,, be utilized in the above-mentioned motor that disposed in the reel 36 with the reel length of regulation of electrode 3 according to the instruction of control part 7.Like this, the part on the top of the covering highlight bar 37 in the electrode 3 is a side shifting downstream, and the top of highlight bar 37 is covered by other parts of electrode 3.The result is that contact applies portion 32 and is updated to untapped state from the state that uses.According to this variation, also can be suitably and carry out a plurality of analyses efficiently.In addition,, need not discarded certain electrode 3 or cut off electrode 3, just can successfully contact the renewal of the portion of applying 32 according to this variation.
Analytical equipment of the present invention is not to be defined in above-mentioned embodiment.The concrete structure of the various piece of analytical equipment of the present invention can freely carry out various design alterations.
Electrode 3 is not to be defined in as dividing to annotate nozzle performance function, can be the function that only applies voltage yet.The analysis that analytical equipment of the present invention be fit to use capillary electrophoresis to carry out, but the present invention is not limited thereto can be applied in the analytical equipment of various analytic approachs that the sample of implementing to have to liquid applies the operation of voltage.
